Kukla's Korner Hockey

Last year Wings Senior VP Jimmy Devellanno told the Detroit fans the Wings had a season ticket waiting list of 16,000 people. What happened?

One of the Red Wings' Original Six rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs, skate into Joe Louis Arena only once during the regular season. Due to the high demand for this game, a limited number of seats will be made available to those fans who take advantage of the 'Original Six' Plan.
All you have to do is simply select a minimum of 6 single, individual seats* in any variation (6 to 1 game, 2 to 3 games, 3 to 2 games, etc.) and you can guarantee yourself two side-by-side seats** for the December 9 game vs. Toronto!
Don't miss your opportunity to be a part of one of the most sought-after games of the season!

Another package…

The two best teams in town are partnering up to offer an exclusive for diehard fans! Purchase a minimum of 10 single, individual* game tickets in any variation (10 to 1 game, 2 to 5 games, 5 to 2 games, etc.) for the Red Wings this season and receive priority to purchase two side-by-side seats** to the 2007 Detroit Tigers Home Opener!
